This is a big park but easy for a bigger rig to pull in and out of the sites. The sites aren’t too far away from each other, but you’re not touching the next sites awnings with your slide outs. The staff is wonderful and helpful. There is a pool and it did look maintained and cleaned, but we never used it. The bath houses are kept up, but need A/C for summertime, as they can get warm during the day. There appeared to be a mini golf course (small, and needs some repairs). We had issues with the power and water there, but we were able to adjust our thinking, and treat it like a 30-amp outlet, and didn’t use all the A/C units in our camper (we were fine with two). In the summer when many bigger rigs are using all three A/C units, it pulls a lot of power through the park and the power at some of the pedestals tend to drop below 105. The water was a nice rust color (we used a three stage filter and RV OnTheGo water softener). Talking with some of the staff there, as well as the owner, they had just built a new building and pavilion. The new building was to house a new water softener system for the park (he was waiting for the plumber to hook it into the system, as the equipment was in place). If we hadn’t talked with the staff and owner, we probably wouldn’t consider coming back, due to the issues. Since they are working on improving the park, we are going to give it another shot next time we’re in the area. Overall, I think this park will be a great park to visit when in the Elkhart area once the updates/upgrades are completed. There is a lot to do in the Elkhart area, highly recommend visiting the RV Museum, SuperHero Museum, Railroad museum and the Botanical Gardens.

Beautiful location just on the side of Land Between the Lakes on Kentucky Lake. The staff is friendly when they are around as is the camp host when he is around. The sites are small and unlevel (no matter what the websites states). One employee let me know that there’s only two level sites in the place. There’s only one bathhouse with a portapotty at the end of each loop. I’d not recommend staying if your camper is more that 20 ft.long as the pads aren’t that big, nor are they level. Maneuvering around the campground with a bigger rig (more than 20 ft.) can be tricky as there a lot of trees and narrow road that makes turning a bit hard to perform, some campers will have their tow vehicle parked on the side partly in the road, or in the middle of the loop “islands” which further complicates the issue.. To keep from poking our nose out in the road, I had to put the stabilizers off the back of the pad. The combination of needing 6 high on the leveling blocks on one side required me to find more leveling blocks for our back stabilizers. I had to use 10 for each stabilizer along with some wheel chocks as shims to even get those to somewhat level. With all that one of our stabilizer jacks was almost all the way down. Luckily we had our extension cable as it was approx 40 ft. To the pedestal and water. Our front steps were opened and not able to fully open due to the angle of the site. After a few nights of no sleep due to nervousness of setup, we were able to move to another site. Site was a little better on level as it was up on the main loop. Unfortunately for another couple a termite infested tree fell on their camper and totaled it. They had to reach out to the lodge ( a couple of miles away) and have them send someone out, as there was no employee or camp host onsite, during the day. Rather than than offer the couple a place to stay at the lodge, they offered for them to come to the lodge for paperwork. The lack of assistance to the couple and the concern of the management was appalling. The staff only stated they were glad no one was hurt, but they had no say in anything. Unfortunately their management doesn’t seem to want to invest in the park, as it does need some work for modern trailers. We’ve determined we would not return, which is sad as we love the Kentucky State Parks normally. This has been the worst state park campground that we’ve been to, due to lack of upkeep.
